Etienne, K6ATN, sent an advance copy of the Pacific Northwest News which featured Tim, KG7EJT: "Tim Nair-KG7EJT reached Mountain Goat status during his July 16, 2017 activation of Tiffany Mountain (W7W/OK-029). Dennis-WA2USA, in Indiana, was the fourth contact on Tim’s activation that got him to 1,000 points. This particular activation was mostly on 20 meters, with one contact on 40 meters."

"In a Facebook Post, moments after his activation, Tim stated, 'Just reached Mountain Goat level!!! Thanks for the contacts!!!'. 'This is truly an amazing accomplishment', stated Todd-W7TAO. 'You are really the first native Washington SOTA Mountain Goat, earning most of your points in our great state. This is an exceptionally difficult task with most six point or higher peaks being rugged and accessible for only a very short season. Well done sir. This is a big deal and to boot, you are a first class operator!'
Tim’s first SOTA activation was in January 2015 and it took him 182 summits in order to reach 1,000 points.

When Tim started doing SOTA, all contacts were made using 2 meter FM for the first 1½ years. About 90% of all his activations have been 2m FM. The Tiffany Mountain activation was an exception as it was strictly HF."
(Ed Note: Please forgive me if I posted Tim's achievement last month, I don't have access to that issue right now)
